The Separation #1
The Separation
Two students. Two sides of the wall. One truth that could destroy everything.
In 2183 America, life is sharply divided—boys on one side, girls on the other. The Wall isn’t just a barrier; it’s a rule, a promise, and a prison that has kept two halves of the world separate for nearly half a century.
After a tragic death shakes the delicately-controlled balance of Kirstum High, Jodie-Lynn Benethryss comes face to face with one of the very monsters the Separation’s steel walls were meant to keep out—a boy named Levi Martineli. To make matters worse, Levi is a member of the Consolidation, a rebel group bent on ending the worldwide gender separation.
Reluctantly, Jodie agrees to become Levi’s informant until the upcoming Gaiety Ball, in exchange for the promise of her missing girlfriend’s return. But as information unravels and boys keep showing up dead, she and Levi find themselves at the center of a dangerous web of secrets, where every answer only leads to more questions, and trust becomes the most treacherous game of all.

I really loved this book! The futuristic dystopian setting is both scary and cool. I wouldnt want to live in it BUT I could go for some CURE right about now (I’ve got a cold). I really enjoyed the dual perspectives of the different sides of The Wall, coming from Levi (boys) and Jodie (girls). I’m so excited that this is a trilogy because that ending!!! OMG I need book 2 now please!
